Fun, relaxing ship that wasn't so large we got lost! We loved the small venues and initiamte feel that this ship offered over the Mega ships like Bliss, Getaway, Epic or Escape (ALl of which we have been on to compare) This was one of our fav NCL ship and we loved Alsaka, the weather and especially the people.
Embarkation

We hopped a cab and went directly to the ship. No lines, took our luggage and by the time we got inside we waited only 10 min check in and the entire check in process was under 30 mins.!

Ship tip
Was all the way through the buffet on deck 12 to find the Great Outdoors, which is the AFT (Rear facing) outside buffet and bar. Amazing space to enjoy breakfast, snacks or the bar with an exceptional view.
WOnderful town but not much to do, China town was more of an alley than a town, we did not want to go see the gardens and we got in at 6PM and had to leave port at midnight. By the time you get to this Port you are pretty ready to sleep. We had to pack and get bags ready to get off the ship early so this is only a fun place if you are a history buff or want to get souvenirs. Heard there is an olsd law on the books that if a ship takes passengers to Alsaka they MUST port her...IDK, but needless to say, this port pales in comparison after all the other Alaskan ports.
